This section describes the 2020-2021 progress made towards achieving the identified performance measures as outlined in the Statement of Performance Expectations (SPE).

CRL Ltd has one output class and six output areas. The results reported within this section should be read in conjunction with the results reported against the Statement of Intent (SOI) on pages 13-18*. CRL Ltd’s performance against some Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), largely in regard to Project Delivery, have been impacted by Covid-19 Government-imposed restrictions during Alert Level 3 (12 August 2020, 14 and 28 February 2021) and Alert Level 2 (30 August and 23 September 2020, 17 February and 7 March 2021). New health and safety protocols, such as physical distancing, were in place during Alert Levels 3 and 2 which impacted the speed of construction on CRL’s sites.
